They’re so damn smart, then why don’t they run it themselves?......................
ROTFL! Those Flamin’ Calis are almost as smart as the Rocky Mountain HIGH Coloradoans, Wisconsinite Cheeseheads or the Minniesodasomalies.
For an example of how crooked California regulators create market shortages to benefit select energy suppliers see: Energy Racketeering: The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC)
You just push buttons, right?
Looks like In and Out Burger moving from in California out to Tennessee is the new paradigm for their In and Out refineries as well. Looks like California is changing its nickname under Newsom from the Golden State to the In and Out State as industry continues to flee his dump fire
Californians get the government they elect.
It’s about time, and the reason is clear. The vast bulk of voters here aren’t ideologues; they’re just drones who’ve assimilated the Dems = good; GOP = bad narrative, and automatically vote accordingly. They fix this upcoming loss of 18% of our gas supply, or they could face an electoral bloodbath next year. This article cites $8 gas next year ; I’ve seen estimates as high as $12
You can buy it but the democrats stringent regulations say you can’t run it ,LOL
No worries. Everything will run on free electricity from wind and solar in about 10 years.
Most people would figure out the problem, but California Democrats are foam-at-the-mouth wackos.
Idiots
From the article, it doesn't look like Phillips is planning to sell the refinery. It looks like Phillips is planning to dismantle the refinery and repurpose its land for other uses.

Sad to say, this has an impact on northern Nevada as well since most of our gas comes from the left coast. Can hardly blame the refiners. Smooth move calis.
They should just turn it over to their “hardworking” illegal aliens. They shouldn’t have any problem running a refinery that Americans don’t want to run.
Ya think?
Democrats will continue until the people howl.
I am surprised there has been no effective response until now.
The answer would have been to regulate less but they can’t help themselves. They are like leeches that suck and suck and continue sucking until the host dies. In fact progressives in general are, not just like, parasites.
How sever will the impact be on the rest of the country as refiners in other places try to make up for the shortage and as needed gas has to be shipped in from other places to make up the shortages caused by California closures?
There hasn’t be a petroleum refinery built in the US since 1976.
Ha! Saw this yesterday.
Gavin Newsom thinks he’s going to find a FOOL to buy an oil refinery in California - which has just driven out two refineries (that provided ≈ 18-20% of California’s gasoline) - due to California’s onerous taxes, regulations and burdensome environmental laws?
He thinks someone is going to make a profit over those hurdles? - all of which he fully supports. He is woefully ignorant of business practices and Economics 101.
He might as well be trying to sell the Golden Gate Bridge.
What happened after he signed legislation to raise fast-food workers pay to $20/hour:
“The NBER study estimates that California’s fast food sector lost approximately 18,000 jobs due to the minimum wage increase to $20 per hour.”
